Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the local ABCs for the exterior problem of 2-D and 3-D Poisson equations, and for the wave equations on unbounded domains. By using artificial boundaries, the original problems are reduced to boundary or initial boundary value problems on bounded computational domains. Local boundary conditions on the artificial boundaries are obtained. Some error estimates are also given.
